SSBL Bylaws as revised in May, 2010

By action of the SSBL Board of Directors in May of 2010, the SSBL Bylaws were amended to provide for more current technology options to be used in conducting SSBL elections. The section on Elections was rewritten to create a single Elections Committee, to clarify its duties, and to allow use of e-mail and Internet tools during the nominating and voting processes. The Bylaws document in the Handouts section has been updated to point to the current version of the Bylaws.
